logcat showed that the server was sending a malformed error to response
the DIGEST challenge.   I reentered the password and then it was ok.

So apparently this is a bug in jabberd2 sending a bad error message.

And also arguably in chatsecure, which doesn't display the malformed
messsage, or at least doesn't abort the login attempt with an error.

Also, I was able to create a burner account.

So all in all I'm in vastly better shape with 14.2.0 than earlier -
thanks to everyone for their efforts.
